>> Oh, great. >> Okay. Thank you so much for having me back again. I apologize for my back being to all of you. Um, we had a goal this year to expand the contests that we provide to all students. These are open to everyone. And so this year we
expanded some contests down to second grade. we added a language arts and a science contest and so that was a goal this year and so you're seeing some of the results of that here tonight. Um we have a lot to celebrate. Um we're happy to recognize all the achievements that the River Edge kids did. Um and no
matter you know how big or how small their result was, they were all amazing and took up the challenge to challenge themselves this way. So we're happy to have you all here tonight. All right, we're going to get started first with the nonmath awards. Um, the first one is
actually um something called the stock market simulation game. Um, it's something that I do in my fifth grade reignite class. And it is a a simulation game where the children um are given a fake amount of money, $100,000, and there are lessons and they have to
learn. We teach about the stock market, we teach about stocks, companies, equity, and they have to invest their money. Um, and there's it is a contest. And this year, um, one of my teams, two of my students came in first place out
of all of Northern New Jersey. And that was 106 teams. And those two stu those two students were Harin O and Gianna Kim. I'm gonna put her here. We are happy. You want to hang out in your room.
>> See They each received a $50 gift certificate. So very impressive. All right, next up, Miss Del Rosaso with the language arts award. >> Good evening everyone. So I'm Miss
Daraso. I am the uh enrichment teacher and the ELA also upper grades enrichment teacher. And this year we want to expand the competitions as we said. So as a pilot I introduced the National Language Arts Contest to my fourth grade class
and my fifth grade class. And the fourth grade class came in third nationally. And they only missed um they missed second place by one point. So we have a new goal for next year, don't worry. Um and then next year we're going to take this competition and we're going to roll it out into the entire district. So all
fourth grade students will be able to participate and all fifth grade students will be able to participate and it'll be like a sign up slot time uh not just within my class. So I would love to have the following students come up and receive their certificate and Kalista
Choy Nora Saglu. I probably SAID THAT WRONG. ANTONIO Las that way. Watch the counters. Good. Good. Good. Emma Gini and
Emma. Hannah Chang. AND OUR top scorer in fourth grade, he received the most gorgeous. He received the most points in fourth grade, is Jeremy Height. And he's ALSO the national first place winner. Okay.
>> Good job. Good job. All the hard work paid off. YAY. And uh next to the podium is Mari Yu. She was the top scorer of the fifth grade team. She might not be here, but that's okay. We'll bring it to her. All right. Thank you very much. Thank you so much. Thank
you. >> Go back. I'm going backwards. Sorry. Very good of me. >> Okay. Uh thank you all for coming. My name's uh Mr. Gavin. I'm the steam teacher here in River Edge. Um I lucky enough to meet
with Miss Hayers uh pretty frequently and you know my class is only half the year. So I only get to see you know the fourth, fifth and sixth grade for half the year. And at the end of last year we were brainstorming and we're like maybe there's something I can do um with the
fourth, fifth and sixth grade while I don't have them. And Miss Hayers is like I do a math competition. and they also offer a science competition. Maybe you can try it out. So, I tried it out and the the students did a wonderful job. It was open to all fourth, fifth, and sixth
grade students at both schools. Um, and tonight we're going to award the top scorers from fourth, fifth, and sixth grade at both schools. So, from Roosevelt School, we have Gabriel Rob. We have Nathan O.
We have Kitten Donna Sakarin. And then from Cherry Hill School, we have Christopher Williams. We have Mari U. And lastly, we have Isaac Sun. Yeah, like a Yeah.
>> All right. As I said, um if you did not participate in any math awards, you may absolutely leave. No harm, no no will be insulted. So, if you did not participate in any math awards, which we're going to do next, you absolutely may leave because it is crowded in here.
All right, sorry. Next up is um our Noetic Learning Contest. This is a single contest we do in the spring. 20 questions, students get an hour. And the awards that they give out are you can be a team winner, which means you have the highest score in your team, which is by grade. So, grade two, grade three, grade
four. And also, you can um get an honor roll medal, which is for having uh the top 10% a score in the top 10% nationally. and they give us all those statistics. So, we're going to recognize the following people in grade two from Cherry Hill, Lucas, Alves, team winner
and an honoral. And Noah Green, a team WINNER in grade three. Asher Chang, team winner and honor roll and Grant Sha honor roll. Also in grade three, Vana Chamadaya
honor roll. Sorry. Jaden Jyn, team winner and honor roll. And Aiden Lee, honor role. In grade four, Myra Bala, team winner and honoral. Sorry, Dad. Jaden Kim, team winner and honor roll.
Roy Han Suchi, team winner and honor roll. Taiga Takahashi honor ROLL in grade five. Seiya Chung team winner and honor roll. Lewis Kang honor roll. Yeah, there's a lot of you. Move on
down. >> John Lee, team winner and honor roll. Sebastian Gonzalez, honor roll. Grade six. Oh, I'm sorry. There you go. Might be in the wrong pile. We'll have to keep looking. Sorry. >> All right, we'll figure it out.
>> I tried to be organized, but it was a lot of medals. I'm sorry. All right, in grade six, Jaden Ma, team winner and honor roll. Erin Woo, team winner, honor roll. >> That's That's Aaron.

>> Sorry. Duke Co. Poetic. Honorable. Thank you. What? >> John Lee? I don't know. I'll have to look. I don't know what happened. >> It's okay. Okay, thank you to all my knowetic >> my knowetic winners. You can sit that
back down again. >> Well, then I still have more to go. So, I have four math contests. >> Is that Mari? >> Mari. You? >> No. Ellie. Um, >> she got the ticket at home, but I don't know if it was supposed to be another one here. >> No, if she got it already at home, then
we handed them out ahead of time. It was only the top winners that were doing the board meeting because there's just too many people. >> She was invited. So, never call. >> Maybe for something else. She might be coming up somewhere else. >> Okay. >> Okay. All right. Next up is the mathematics league. This is a contest
for fourth, fifth, and sixth graders. We're recognizing the top score in each school for those. It's a 30 question test in 30 minutes. It's quite challenging. So for fourth grade, our Cherry Hill top scorer was Grant Sha.
At Roosevelt, it was Taigga Takahashi. In fifth grade at Cherry Hill, Seiya Chong and Sebastian Gonzalez. >> Are you sure they're not stuck together? >> And sorry, that's sixth grade. Sixth grade at Roosevelt, we have Ayan
Mazander. AND AT CHERRY HILL, I have to mention this specifically. We had a tie between Jaden Ma and Dylan Rivkin. They not only ranked 12th in the state with their score, um, but they helped our Cherry
Hill School score um, rank 10th in the state, which was very impressive. Jaden and Dylan were ranked first in Bergen County. Cherry Hill was also first in Bergen County. And Roosevelt was fourth in Bergen County. Can you guys like down
>> over here? Daden, look over here, too, buddy. >> You got him. >> Are we good? >> Okay. All right. Thank you for math league. Continental math league. All right. Next up is Continental Math League.
This is a series of five months of contests. It runs from November through March. And the scores are the cumulative score for the whole um five months of testing. So in grade two we have a medal and a
certificate. The highest score was Noah Green. In grade four, highest score was Roy Suchian. In fifth grade, the highest score was Seiya Chung. In sixth grade at Cherry Hill, we had
Dylan Rivkin. And at Roosevelt, Ayan Mazander. And if you're wondering why I skipped grade three, that's because Grant Sha not only had a perfect score and had the top score clearly, but he also won a
national medal for that as well. Grant, flip it around, buddy. Okay. >> All right. I'm going as fast as I can. Um, next up is Perennial Math, which actually does a lot of different levels of recognition. The first up is something called their wall of fame. Any
student who achieved a five or a six out of six in any of the four months um gets a certificate and a math lead tag. So I'm going to read off those names. Grant Sha Vana Chamadaya Lucas Frius
Myra Bala Paul Castanada, Jeremy Height. What? >> It was okay. It is. It was in order. All the way from the end. Okay. Yeah. Ethan Park.
Dami Jazal was separated by school. You had Sherry Hill was one, Kyle Roosevelt was the other. That might be why. Jeselines, Nisha Mahhatra. These are all the Cherry Hill students.
Seiya Chung J. Co. Shrewjan Pansar Duke Co, Jaden Ma, Matthew Zang, >> Haley Park, Jason Choy, >> Jacy Ma,

Ayanch Mazander, Emma Fuji, Okay. >> Yeah, you're getting one for every month that you got that score in. So, if they're paper clipped together, you have more than one month. >> Good. Yeah. Erica Takahashi,
Theo Ratchless, that's Theo and Luca Aliv. I did call Elvin. >> I That's Elvin right there. >> Is Aiden Oh, where's Aiden? Did Aiden Lee come up? Okay, we'll figure it out afterwards.
It's okay. >> All right, my wall of famers, give us a big smile. All right. Thank you, my friends. You may sit down. I'm almost done. Two more. >> Luke.
>> Go over here and smile. I didn't get anything. >> Okay, thank you. Perennial Math also recognizes the team leader, the student with the highest score in their grade, and also honor roll, a top 10% score. I'm going to read
the Cherry Hill students first. Grant Shawn, gold medal and honor roll. Myra Bala, gold medal and honor roll. Seiya Chung gold medal and honor roll. Jay Co honor roll. Duke Co. Gold Medal and honor roll.
Jaden Ma, gold medal and honor roll. Erin Woo, honor roll. Albert Lynn, honor roll. Okay. Roosevelt students. Aiden Lee, gold medal and honor roll. Elvin Louu, gold medal and honor roll. Roy Suchian, honor roll.
Ayan Mazander, gold medal and honor role. Crit and Janice Accaren honor role. >> The next group of students I'm going to call up um we were also awarded a team medal grade six at Cherry Hill. They
calculate this by the top 10 scores and their team warranted a national team medal. We have a lovely plaque. So, I have a certificate for each of you. I'd like to call out those 10 people that were part of that score that got us that
award. Duke Co, Jaden Ma, Erin Woo, Albert Lynn, Ana Shri Partha, JC Ma, Ani Shaw, Haley Park, Matthew Zang, and Vivian Yun.
Congratulations. You got us the grade level award. >> Hold the black. Hold it. Hold it. Any Okay, thank you my friends. Last award of the night. Good job. Good job.
>> Perennial Mass also offers a national championship and students are invited to participate in the national championship either because of their high scores in the online competition or because they placed first, second, or third in a MAWA
in-person tournament. We also had teams that were invited to participate again because of our cumulative scores. So both Roosevelt's fourth and sixth grades and Cherry Hills fourth and sixth grades were qualifiers. So I'd like to read off all those qualifiers right now, please,
for a certificate. All right, first up, the individual awards. These are students who qualified and were invited. Aiden Lee, Asher Chang, Vana Chamadaya, Damahi, Jal, Elvin Louu,
>> Myra Bala, Roy Suchi. >> The next group qualify, but sadly because of NJSLA, they weren't able to actually compete, but we would like to recognize them because they were winners to get invited into this. Jay Co, Seiya Chong,
Ayan Mazander, Albert Lynn, Ana Sri Partha, Duke Co. Aaron Woo, >> Jaden Ma, Kitten, Janice Accaren, Kavi Deselines, Jason Choy,
And our last two competitors I saved because not only did they qualify for this, but they placed nationally out of 98 competitors. Jaden Jyn got the bronze medal and came in third place.
And Grant Shawn came in silver place, second place, silver medal. >> All right. Do you want to take a picture of the individuals first and then we'll get the teams? >> It's up to you. >> Hold them up. Smile.
All right, last group are the teams that competed and qualified for perennial math. So, have a seat. Some of you might be back up in a second if you were on a team. First up, a Roosevelt fourth grade team because
their top five scores qualified them to be invited. That team was made up of these students and they came in 14th place. Advik Krishnan,
Meera K sorry Koma Naru Baron Ozan, Gabriel Rob and Tiffany Kim. 58 teams. Next up was the fourth grade team from Cherry Hill. Also because of their top five scores, Damahi,
Jeremy Height, Paul Castanada, Nisha Mahhatra, Lucas Frius, and Ethan Park. There there's more, but if you can take a picture if you want. Okay.
All right. The next fourth grade team was a team that competed at the Mawa Inerson tournament. Um, they came in fifth place. Jaden Jyn, Aiden Lee,
Roy Sutioan, Elvin Louu, and Luke Ko. >> That last group came in fifth place in a tie. The last fourth place team, oh sorry, last fourth grade team was
from Cherry Hill. They also qualified from Mawa tournament. Vana Chamadaya, Gloria Lee, Asher Chang, Antonio Lorsa,
and Myra Bala. They came in 10th place. All right, that's it for the fourth grade. Why don't we take a picture of all the fourth graders for the teams? >> All right, guys. Slide down. All right, everyone smile. Show the hold
up your certificates. >> Sorry. All right, fourth graders. Thank you. All right, my friends, the last group. You don't have to listen to my raspy voice anymore. Sixth grade teams. We had a sixth grade team that competed
in Mawa and qualified for the national championship. Jasper Chay, Isaac Sun, Kavi Deselines, Jason Choy, and Dominic Sabong. >> One more.
The next The next sixth grade team qualified because again their cumulative top scores in the top five students got us invited. Sixth grade Roosevelt team Ayunch Kitten Janisaren
Eleanor Louu Theo Ratchless and Erica Takahashi. This team came in ninth place out of 43 teams. And our last sixth grade team was from Cherry Hill. Again, qualified because
their top five scores got us invited. This team came in fourth place nationally and they missed third place by one point. Duke Co, Jaden Ma,
Erin Woo, Ana Sri Partha, and Albert Lynn. All right, hold them high. Hold them proud. >> Did I miss him? Did he come late? science.
>> I feel like he was >> I know he's in fourth. He's in Roosevelt. Was he an ELA or a math? I don't know. I feel like he was at the end. I feel like he was an ELA person. >> James Wilson.
>> James Wilson. He was the He was the language arts that called about second. >> There's her name. >> Ellie Ch. >> Okay. All right. >> Um, we have a couple of Come on up. We
have a couple of students that we somehow missed for the language arts. >> Ellie Chay and James Wilson. >> Yes. Not called. >> Ellie Chay and James Wilson. I am so sorry because the certificates just came
in today and Mr. Mr. Grimshaw signed your certificates and Mrs. Heightman didn't get a chance to sign the other ELA certificates, so I'm saving yours for last. Come on up. >> My perennial math teams, you may have a
seat. Thank you. That's it. >> Do you want to take a picture with them? We didn't get a picture with them. >> Okay. Take a picture. Yeah. Take a picture with Miss Roso. >> Sorry about that.
>> Cheese. >> Thank you. >> All right. Thank you so much. I'm done. Good night. Wow, thank you. >> That might be a River Edge record. I do. Before everyone leaves, I just want to
have one round of applause for uh Miss Hayers, Miss Del Rosaso, Mr. Gavin, all the teachers, and all the parents. You can give yourselves a round of applause. Uh because this is really incredible work. It's really great. So, thank you. >> Thank you for having us and giving us the time. It's >> We're going to take a five minute
recess. We'll be back. Okay. Thank you. All right. Well, that was something a a River Edge record, I'm sure, for the amount of awards in one night. Uh seeing as how there's no public comments on agenda items, uh we I am opening up the public hearing on the
superintendent contract uh for uh July 1st, 2026 through June 30th, 2031. Um this has been distributed. It's been finalized. It's been signed. I will open it up first for if any board members have any questions or comments. It is on
the agenda tonight for approval. >> Excited to have Dr. Bernice uh continue with the river edge board of education river edge school. So, thank you. >> All right. Good. All right. No other comments and seeing as there aren't any other public comments, uh we will move on to reports. Uh superintendent report.
>> Uh good evening everyone. Um I have only a few items. Uh today was wellness day, so I'm wearing my green my green shirt that I break out once a year. Um I did lose the tie that I normally wear with this shirt, so I had to improvise. Uh but thank you to all the faculty who planned and supported the day. It was
quite an undertaking uh in both both schools. Um the River Jamal Squad uh brought the ambulance up and uh gave students a tour of that. Uh that was quite good and the Evergreen Medical Group uh came and provided the station as well in addition to the uh many
stations that we had staffed by faculty um and uh and staff. So thank you for wellness day. It was quite a success. Uh the memorial day ceremony was held at Roosevelt. It was the rain day. Uh Mr. Mr. Wangi was there. He was there. Yeah. I was invited as the guest speaker. Um I
It was a really nice day. Uh it was well the day was raining but the ceremony was very nice. Uh we had um I guess bugers if you will from Riverdale as well as a student who sang in national anthem a capella and did a great job. Um really really quite nice and a nice partnership
that we have with the burrow. Uh and I'm glad that we're able to provide the the rain uh the rain venue um for the memorial ceremony. Uh state testing is complete. There's one more student that we have to take a makeup exam and that should be completed earlier early uh next week and then we are um finished
with say testing. We will close the session uh once that student is complete. Um all the spring music concerts were held and well attended last week. Um just a little interesting item. I've been asked to participate in the conversation regarding math curriculum on June 8th. Uh it's in
central Jersey with fellow superintendents. Former commissioner Dr. Kimberly Marcus and the K to2 coalition are hosting the event. they invited me to do to River Edg's forwardleaning efforts in our shift to amplify Desmos mathematics. So Christine Moran is helping me with uh um kind of like a
one-page executive summary on the steps that we've taken and some of the successes success that we have seen with that program. So I'll be speaking to that uh on the 8th. Um school ends the 22nd. Uh there's a final update to the calendar on the agenda tonight. The only change that this reflects is that there
are three half days for students Thursday, Friday, and Monday. The last draft I left off the Thursday, so it reflected Friday and Monday, but I can't change the calendar without your approval. So, uh, that's on the agenda tonight for approval. Um, that concludes my report.
>> Yeah, I don't I had never heard uh when they played taps, they did it as a round at that ceremony. I never heard that >> like an echo. Yes, it was cool. Really quite good. >> That was nice. >> Um, all right. Board secretary report. >> Question just quickly about the calendar. If we can just make sure we
blast that out. the updated change. Okay, thank you. >> Any other questions, comments? >> All right, board secretary report. >> Thank you, President Langley. Good evening, everyone. Uh, first I just want to highlight item uh finance H5 on
tonight's agenda, which is the 2026 2027 tax payment schedule. Uh, the burrow and myself, we reviewed it, uh, agreed on it internally to ensure cash flow from both entities. Uh, so we're set for the upcoming school year. Um, so that'll be on for tonight for
approval. Secondly, on tonight's agenda under finance H8, there's a resolution urging state relief uh regarding rising health care costs um that's affecting uh districts across the state. Uh
uh which was a a large item that that kind of drove the tax increase for 26 27 relating to my budget. Uh moving on to the facilities update. Uh the first project relating to a current project just to give everyone an
update uh for the boiler projects at Roosevelt and Cherry Hill. Uh we're still working with the architect and the vendor to close out that uh project and release final payment to the vendor. Um and then in conclusion with that, we'll submit the necessary paperwork to get ro
grant reimbursement due to the district. Uh looking forward to looking ahead to next next year's projects. There's a few updates. uh first for the Cherry Hill playground. We have received the grant agreement from the state. Uh so we're currently reviewing it internally and
then we'll present it to the board at the next board meeting for approval. Uh we we are also finalizing the scope of the work and determining whether uh we can utilize a local co-op award uh a vendor to a local cooper award or if we
have to go out to a formal uh bid. uh because regardless the the estimate that we're getting back is over the bit threshold. Uh next for the gym floor and the bleacher replacement project we held a kickoff meeting kickoff meeting on May 18th
uh which you'll notice on tonight's agenda there's um under finance H12 uh there's additional funding that is being requested uh relating to the asbestous abatement uh portion of this project. Uh work will begin as soon as the school
year ends. The abatement will be completed uh while the building is not occupied. Uh the new flooring will be completed before the school year starts. Uh but due to manufacturing lead times, the bleaches will likely uh won't likely won't be fully installed until mid-
November. Uh finally, we held a kickoff meeting on May 22nd for the CLA for the six classroom flooring replacement project. Uh similar to the gym project, the work in the abatement will start as soon as the school year ends with the abatement
uh that's needed in four classrooms which will be completed uh while the building's also not occupied. And those uh six classrooms are on track to be completed by the end of July. And that concludes my report and I'll turn it over uh back to the president. >> Great.
>> Any questions or comments? the gym and classroom abatement that's starting after the school year or the summer program. >> So, it's starting after the school year, but um the abatement will take place on the weekends or outside uh the summer
summer summer hours. >> Yeah, I know we had a question >> that was that was a concern of mine. I I don't like to do occupied abatements, so doing them on the weekend is better. And we worked with the cont Eric's working with the contractor very diligent to make sure that that's the way that works. sealed off, right? From the
>> Well, they they take they take all the precautions regardless, right? But it's just easier there. If you do an occupied abatement, there's a different level of notice that we have to um I guess administer to the the community. If if it's an unoccupied abatement, we still
have to notice, but it's not as um invasive, if you will. >> Um >> but either way, no one's allowed in that area. Like if they work on a Saturday, no one's going in there on Monday. Right. >> Right. Exactly. And then we and then we do the air quality test >> and at when they're completed for the
next 24 and then we get that report 24 hours when you're >> Okay, >> great. >> Uh president's report. I just have one thing. We did settle on a date for the retreat. I did send that out. It's the 17th uh which is a Wednesday, June 17th
from 6:00 to 9. That's been advertised, right? You said >> advertising. Yep. So, um look forward to that. um committees, fines and facilities did meet on May
20th. Uh you covered pretty much everything uh in your report. Um so there's nothing new to add there. And personal and management also met
>> I don't remember was on the it's personnel matters. I don't think there's anything we can discuss publicly, right? agenda. >> We did meet and we discussed a few personal issues. >> Okay. Okay. Uh and then uh curriculum and instruction met on the 22nd. Um I
have a couple bullet points notes from there. We talked about the strategic plan a little bit. Um remind me again, Nuzella. >> Newella is a resource that was requested by the teachers that was included in next year's budget that we'll be deploying on a we did a pilot program this year. It was I think it was like
$21. I'm not sure why they asked for that dollar, but um And then this year um we're expanding the uh distribution of material as teachers requested. >> Great. And then we also talked about uh fully expanding and integrating math program for K to three that'll be done.
>> Oh, we could uh it's the end of the professional development for mathematics. >> Got it. >> So that's um included this year. And then we still might um we're still going to do professional development for math, but we'll probably either do it ourselves or have a much um much more
limited uh demand for for that because now all those teachers have been formally trained for for two years. We started a year earlier um with some training and then over that summer and then uh that whole year we trained uh folks and then in the deployment for K to3 we started a year early and then
this year was much a very robust effort with uh K to six and that's now completed. >> Okay, great. And then we talked a little bit about this OI survey that had fairly small numerator but was that sent out to
everybody? Uh it's in that everyone will see everyone here will see that when they go through the sup the evaluation. >> Oh, got it. Um if we ever get that figured out. >> Yeah. Yeah, we are in the pro Sorry, I'll just jump in. We are in the process of doing the superintendent evaluation.
Uh that's due by July 1 or June 30th. >> June. It's due. It's Yes, it's due by June 30. at the next. So the if the the platform is having some difficulties and I let NJSBA know exactly how I felt this afternoon um
about their cumbersome uh and then some of the issues that they're having. We're going to get through this in the next I I already submitted it and in 48 hours all of you will get an email regarding uh the evaluation. You can go through it at your leisure. Um but we do need to approve it at the next meeting. Maybe at
the at the retreat we I'll rice myself and I'll have Eric rice me and then you you folks I'll excuse myself at some point or when it's over if you will and then you can discuss the evaluation complete the report and then we can approve it at the final meeting. >> And I think if I remember correctly each individual has to go in and score. Yes.
>> So between now and the retreat we should all log in and go and do that. So if we need help logging in because I don't often remember what >> I can send that link. I think I think it >> Yeah, I can send it. >> Okay. And it'll probably be in the email that they >> I think you the email is generated automatically, I'm pretty sure. But I've
never seen your your side email, so there may not be a link there. We might have to give you a login. >> Okay. Okay. All right. Good. I'm glad that uh I think that was it for CN. All right. Any questions about
committees comments? All right. Moving on to items to be acted upon. Um can I have a motion for item D3, please? Any court discussion? No. Roll call, please. >> Miss Brian, >> yes. >> Mr. Allesandro,

any discussion >> I just question uh this um like a a approval of a joint uh joint transportation agreement um is that uh can you uh explain more about
how we uh region five provide the service and then u is that the fee base or how we uh >> yeah. >> Yeah. So, region five obviously we have member districts. All the member districts um where we part of the
membership is we provide transportation to those membership districts. Um a district that's not part of um that's not a member um has the ability to join um and request transportation and our our region uh does a nice job. if there's a route already going to a
school that one of our member districts um attending, we will add a non-member uh school to that route. So, if it's not impeding on on anything currently, um those non-member districts um they also will pay additional fees that a member
district will not pay. So, the member districts will pay the cost of, you know, that transportation bid. Um but the non-members will will pay like an admin fee on top of paying the cost Higher rate. >> A higher rate. Correct. >> So is that uh covering whole Paris
school district or just some of them? >> Disagreement. >> Yeah. >> Um I believe this agreement is just to have the ability that the region can um support certain routes. I'm not sure if the routes have been identified yet. So it might it might just say like various
routes. So as these routes come on uh the region has the ability to add additional routes for Pison. So the reason I'm asking is that not just a small school district is a huge district. >> So that's why you know how that adding
you know Paris school district to the their current workload is going to work. >> Correct. I mean this is all I mean um the region doesn't do the transportation. All these are outside vendors. So um you know um uh Miss uh Bernardo I mean she does a very nice job
as far as our transportation coordinator. um they basically work with these vendors and and add these these uh non-member districts to these routes where it doesn't impede on on current uh bids, current you know routes that are are being transported to the member for
the member district. >> Okay. >> Yeah. >> So it's beneficial financially for us um to some degree because we get the non we get the non-member admin fees. So, it's above and and beyond um more or less, but the fees kind of offset the expense.
The revenue coming in offsets the expense with the additional revenue coming in for the non-member fees. >> Oh, so it's almost like a pass through. >> It's almost like a pass through. >> There's a couple of bucks there. There's a little bit of a >> Yeah. >> Yeah. I mean, the benefit is to try to, you know, assist these other >> because the vendor's going to onto the
invoice. >> Correct. >> Right. Yeah. They're going to bill us. Okay. Well, >> but the one of the advantages is it can lower the route cost for the member districts, >> right? >> The more students on a route, the route cost goes down. >> Okay. >> So, that's a benefit by adding more students on a district on a route that a
member uh school is also on. >> Paying for. Correct. >> Good. >> All right. >> Roll call, please. >> Miss Bryant. >> Yes. >> Miss Allesandro. >> Yes. >> Mr. Prius. >> Yes. >> Mr. Cohen,
>> yes. >> Mr. Sim, >> yes. >> And President Langley, >> yes. >> Motion carries on K12 as stated. >> Uh, anything for new business? >> Something you mentioned about um I cannot
log into school board association. >> I used to have control by myself change the password this once it was changed by the school district and then I to >> he's going to need it. So >> yeah,
>> I mean I don't know the people. >> I always have to reset it. >> Evaluation. You need the credential >> to do it. >> Yep. >> If you want, I can look for for everyone if they need it. >> Yeah, if if it exists, I'm sure it's helpful. Okay.
>> All right. Seeing as how there's no public comments, can I have a motion to adjourn the meeting? >> Second. >> All in favor? Hi, >> I wanted to say I'm very thankful for the work that you guys did with with the students and then you know the
achievement. I mean it's evident that the parents are happy you know not only because my son got an award but I also like I want to say Miss Hayers is very patient. She's very organized and I didn't have a chance to say it while she was here but I hope you'll relay the message that I am very thankful for her
work and having to deal with people like me who are you know sometimes tough. Thank you. I appreciate it. >> You got it. >> All right. Thanks everybody. We'll see you at the retreat on the 17th.
